A limerick
A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
Guess who
by CD Richards
|
Today's word: kelter (n.) a hand of cards of little value or use.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
